unique contemporary tealight candle holder centerpiecePure white color fascinates us with its feng shui energy of innocence and tranquility.
The pure white color is excellent for feng shui use anywhere in your home, especially to contrast brighter colors. The white shade is highly recommended for the west and northwest corners of your house especially when metal is the dominant element in your decor.
One of my favorite white items on our webiste is this beautiful contemporary tealight candle holder that can be used as a unique centerpiece for the holiday season. If you have decided that your theme for this Christmas is a crisp, clear, fresh look, you can have this centerpiece in the middle of your dinning table and surround it with small silver or clear rocks. Keep it very simple and it will be a stricking focal point.

The Black and White Theme

black and white theme home decorWhite is considered the most popular neutral color to accent. If you have a soft spot for the white and black theme, we have a few suggestions for you. These days using white as a primary decorating color is not what it used to be when every white room looked like the inside of a hospital. With outstanding beautifully colored accent options in furnishings and accessories such as bed sheets, decorative pillows, luxurious throws, fresh flowers, art glass and unique wall hangings, interior designers can put together fabulous rooms. Any colorful accessories displayed well in a white room will seem to have a special place. The combination of black and white creates a sophisticated fresh look. You only need a subtle amount of black in a white room to create drama. A few decorative pillows, a beautiful throw, an art glass vase, an art glass platter or a candleholder is all you need.

In time, you may get bored with the white and black theme. That’s why when it comes to purchasing your accessories, buy pieces that are all white or all black, rather then the ones covered in a black and white pattern. It will be easy to just remove the black items leaving the white ones to blend well with any new scheme you choose. You can change your theme slightly with the season by adding a third accent color. In the spring, an aqua or a canary yellow will bring tranquility into your room and red or coral can be suitable for the cold days of winter.

snow luxury mohair throw with white fringeMohair usually refers to a silk-like fabric or yarn made from the hair of the Angora goat. The word “mohair” was adopted into English before 1570 from the Arabic mukhayyar, a type of haircloth. Mohair fiber is approximately 25-45µ in diameter. It is one of the oldest textile fibers in use. It is both durable and resilient. It is notable for its high luster and sheen, and is often used in fiber blends to add these qualities to a textile. Mohair also takes dye exceptionally well. Mohair is also warm as it has great insulating properties. It is durable, moisture-wicking, stretch and flame resistant.
Mohair is composed mostly of keratin, a protein found in the hair, wool, horns and skin of all mammals. While it has scales like wool, the scales are not fully developed, merely indicated. Thus, mohair does not felt like wool does.
Mohair increases its diameter with the age of the goat, growing along with the animal. This means fine hair from younger animals is used for finer applications such as clothing, and the thicker hair from older animals is more often used for carpets and heavy fabrics intended for outerwear.
These days we are greatful to be able to find beautiful throws and blankets made from this natural fiber. What better way to curl up, enjoy cold winder nights, have a glass of red wine and treat your guests to lush confort then to cover up with a luxurios mohair throw.
Visit homedecorbylulu.com for a variety of luxurious mohair throws that add simple elegance with their natural colors, designed to match the modern home decor or the classic home decor.
